The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please)

This is a discussion on The English Movies Thread (No Spoilers Please) within Shifting gears, part of the Around the Corner category; Recently watched Pan's Labrynth, loved this movie. It's in Spanish though and even the audio was not HD the Dolby ...

I had zero expectations when i watched this movie. But it turned out to be quite an entertaining affair.

The story is nothing to write home about but it never slows, its fast. It has doses of fun moments and action too. The action is comedy violence basically.

I can't see kutcher as a spy though, somebody like Gerard Butler would have been great, but he already teamed up with Heigl before in Ugly Truth which was awesome. Girls gonna go ohlala on seeing him topless. He is the Salman Khan of Hollywood
Heigl is one of my fav actress. She looks beautiful, has great comedy timing and is a good actress.

Saw "The Ladykillers" (*ing Tom Hanks; Dir: Coen brothers). a little slow at the begining but i liked the way the story is put together. cant reveal the storyline since the treatment is a surprise. but typical Coen!
3.5/5

Also saw "Battle of Britain". (Michael Caine in a blink and you miss role). too many people in the cast but seemed to me the director didnt know what to do with them. not sure if it had a storyline. they should have gone about the way "Bridge too Far" was put together.
2/5 (2 just for the effort of making the movie)

+1 for this movie. I was simply speechless after watching this movie. Didn't have a clue about the story before watching it and was hooked from the first scene. May not be to everyone's tastes though and some might find it a bit shocking.

It's the story of two magicians fighting to reign supreme. Wonderful movie and shows the background of how much preparation a magician goes through before putting up the "seemingly" easy looking magic tricks.

Great watch

4/5

Kill me Again starring Val Kilmer and Michael Madsen

It's a story of money & deceit and a little more money and some more deceit. Looks like a story lifted straight out of a Jamesh Hadley Chase novel.

Movie has a B-grade feel to it which is surprising considering the actors in it. But, a decent time pass thriller.

3/5

I agree with your opinion of the movie though. Infact, I like all of Christopher Nolan's movies and am eagerly awaiting for "Inception" to be released here.
